I could hum Beatles songs before I could talk - not very well, but sort of.

You can't change what happened.

Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.

I have a place in New England. It's in the middle of nowhere, like horror movie style - Stephen King-ville. It's a good kind of retreat for me to regroup my thoughts and work. I split time: 50 percent there, 50 percent in New York

I think that me now, I wouldn't take a 16-year-old seriously in any capacity. "You're a kid, why would I listen to you? You're a child."

I don't work with a stylist.

There are pop-culture things on television [that I like]. Not so much in music at all.
